I'm all for parents being strict with their kids in public places - on the bus, at the supermarket, in restaurants, in pubs and in all the other places where people on this forum complain that they don't like seeing children. Children have to learn that we co-exist with one another by co-operation and good manners, and they can only learn by being taken out in public and by being set a good example. Obviously there are some limits, and I'd be as disappointed as anyone else if a toddler were crying at the next table if I were having dinner with my other half at a smart restaurant. On the other hand, it's always such a relief to leave ED and go on holiday to places (rural UK, Italy, Germany for e.g.)where my small child gets smiled at by strangers rather than glared at when his voice is a little loud, where people evidently expect to see all members of society out and about rather than only the polished young-adult variety, and where people are simply a little kind and a little tolerant.

Nnyyeaah, that's what Ocado said when I complained to them. But with crates you don't need to use bags at all, which seems an improvement to me. Also, Ocado food is very wrapped up - bananas in a plastic bag, for example. Perhaps I'm being unfair and they're obliged to wrap everything up, but it makes me a little uncomfortable.

Yes, that's it - have to admit I didn't find it until Moosling was about 2, so never tried it on a baby, but I think it would be v. useful. It is suitable for babies.

Hi Louisiana Sorry, I saw it in passing and from a distance so am not completely sure. It looked complete to me and ready to be used but was behind the area that was for today being used for the bouncy castle so I guess it wasn't yet open to be used. I'd guess that once the bouncy castle goes it will be open for use. Ladymuck (thanks Pickle! :-$), it was for several bikes. HTH Moos

But for the record, your spelling isn't what marks you out as ignorant. Uncultured I cannot say.

What Pickle said. Tesco also have the advantage of delivering in crates, which saves loads of plastic bags, whereas Ocado although very reliable and good quality use lots of bags and over-wrap all their stuff.

You can get good stuff that essentially squirts a fine mist of seawater up even a tiny nose, and encourages it all to run out. Works really well. Will go and look it up and come back to you.

I thought it was 'comparitively (sic) nice'?

Actually, it's about as exciting as an episode of Miss Marple. Rosie herself, it seems, has wisely withdrawn from the thread..

For those of you that didn't catch Axeman's last thread, this one in the Lounge: Has cheese bridged the class divide Not suggesting anyone shouldn't discuss thumb-sucking if they like, but please be aware that the 'finger binding' is almost certainly an invented occurrence.

Now you're talking, Strategos H!

Narnia, Rosie - it's called Risk, not Hoard. I'm not saying I'd turn down Australasia on a plate. I'm just saying it's no fun if someone just plonks a million pieces there and sits brooding over them like a constipated dragon.

I'll play Risk with you, Rosie! Unless you're one of those sad-acts who digs themselves in Australasia or South America and just sits there...

Food is a great idea. After I'd had my son, I got given lots of bubble bath and pampering thingies, etc. "so you can have some well-deserved me time" but the trouble was there was no time for me time, so they never got used.

Anyone already recommended The White Ribbon? Really gripping, creepy film and absolutely worth the pain of subtitles (which I usually find offputting). It's basically a thriller about a small village in Germany in years leading up to the beginning of WW1, where weird and nasty things keep happening but no-one knows why or who is doing them. There's a lot more to it then that but best seen rather than described.

I think that may be Cranium. Brilliant game, as it allows people with different skills to shine in different sections. Trivia, verbal reasoning, performing, drawing and making thingies out of clay (my favourite).

Risk is ace, and I also like Cranium.

> My surprise was to the amount of people earning > over that threshold - 6000 people !. But over a million people work for the NHS - isn't it the 2nd largest employer in the world after the Chinese army? Inevitably the no.of top earners will also be a large number.

To be fair, annaj made exactly the same point a page ago! :)
